The Aya Foundation is a Detroit-based institution dedicated to Reparative Justice for Descendants of American Slavery, including Freedmen, Soulaan, and Foundational Black Americans.

 

​We execute this mission through a unique ecosystem at Hive Studios that will merge cultural storytelling, hands-on trades education, and entrepreneurial incubation. We are not just preserving our heritage—we are actively building the economic and cultural foundations for its future, while providing purpose for our people.
